In Georgetown (USA), a full 3D-printed neighborhood is coming online—fast. Not a concept render: real homes, printed on-site, then finished with solar + smart energy controls.Why it mattersSpeed: printed in about 3 weeks for the shell phaseLess waste: additive construction = minimal material offcutsEnergy positive potential: solar panels + smart thermostats to shrink bills and emissionsRepeatable: scalable playbook for resilient, affordable housingClimate & circularity3D printing cuts concrete use via optimized forms, reduces truck rolls, and accelerates near-zero waste builds. Pair with low-carbon mixes and rooftop PV to push toward net-positive neighborhoods.Open questions for buildersWhat’s the embodied carbon vs. traditional builds?Can we swap to low-carbon cement or geopolymer mixes at scale?How do we finance community-level storage to bank daytime solar?🔔 Subscribe to Reactor for deeptech that scales climate impact.💬 Would you live in a printed home?
